I absolutely support @DeepSpace here. I am working with Emby Server on my Synology Diskstation, and Emby uses the first audio track as standard. This means I have to manually switch the language whenever my mother language is not in the first track of the movie. My current procedure for these...

@RedFox 1 Either you misunderstood my question, or I misunderstood how the advertisments look like. As far as I understood, there are advertisments and/or a watermark in the movies. I was talking about the advertisments which are shown as a kind of break in the movie (just like in TV), not about...

Thanks to both of you. I agree that the watermark does not hurt. Just checked my freevee movies, no logo there. Are the ads removed seamlessly or should I see a kind of "jump", overlap etc.?

I Meanwhile I downloaded a few freevee movies and cannot find any "watermarks" or ads in them. Seems to be no difference to non-freevee movies. How do the watermarks look like?

Is a VPN needed in addition or is it enough to change the region in AS and restart?

If I download a "freevee" movie with AnyStream, will the ads be removed or are the ads part of the mp4 file?

No, as the Moderator already pointed out, this is a problem which is not related to AnyStream. The problem exists with all files I tested so far. Mp4, mkv, various bitrates, framerates and codecs. From AnyStream and from home videos from my GoPro.

I tried now the modified mp4 and mkv files with the metadata at the beginning of the file. No success, it still takes forever until the files start to play.

Ah, yes, it was JBOD instead of RAID0. If a harddisk fails, no problem, I have the files on both of my Synologies. The Xbox is located in my daughters apartment as a "stand alone" streaming device. Thanks a lot for the article in your link!! However, the author claims that he/she has made some...

Yes, it seems to be a XBox-Kodi problem. Since I cannot find anyone else who has reported this problem it might be a issue with my "special" configuration: Icy Box with 2x2 TB Harddisks in RAID 0 at the USB port of XBox. I will test a mp4 movie file which has the metadata moved to the beginning...

The problem exists ONLY on Xbox with Kodi, the video files are on an USB icy box connected to the XBox. Emby, Synology DS Video and Kodi are working perfectly on all other devices (Desktop PC, Amazon Fire Stick, TV App) with Synology 918+ as Server. With the Xbox, after choosing „play“, it...

Hello, I have some questions regarding the position of metadata from mp4 files which were downloaded with AnyStream. Are the metadata positioned at the beginning or at the end of the file? I am asking this because I have problems with Kodi on my Xbox. It takes a very long time until the movie...

Synology NAS with Video Station works perfectly with Amazon Fire stick and mobile devices (iPad etc). In parallel I have Kodi installed on Fire Sticks and Computer. Plex did not impress me at all.

Do the watermarks remain after conversion to mkv? Or if only the audio is changed from eac3 to aac or whatsoever?

Found the reason My monitor is 21:9, and the black bars below and above the video are part of the video. Although it does not look like it, the video touches the edge of the monitor on op and on the bottom. And since the monitor is very wide, there are also black bars on the left and on the...

It is not an aspect ratio problem. Obviously, this issue is quite old: https://www.reddit.com/r/VLC/comments/4t8iti/how_to_force_vlc_to_keep_the_videos_aspect_ratio/ Check the screenshot of BionicDance in this thread, than you know what I mean...

I dont expect that each video fills the screen completely - thats not possible without distortion. But without cropping the mp4 file, when I play the 1280*720 movie on my computer with VLC there are huge black frames all aroud the movie: obove, below, left, right. For some reason, VLC does not...

StaxRip sounds interesting. One issue I just found out when I use AVIDemux that it does not remove black borders in the video. Handbrake did that. This means, the videos made by AVIDemux (as well as the original mp4) are not shown in full screen on my 4K monitor. That’s not quite elegant...

Sorry for giving the feeling of not reading this post. Yes, it doesnt do that direcly, however, there are quite complicated (several steps of demuxing/remuxing) procedures based on MKVToolNix and further programs such as PopCorn audioconverter MKVExtractGUI and others. I tried that but stopped...

I just tried MKVToolNix and could not find an easy way to change the audio track from eac3 to aac or whatever. Since I am using not only Kodi (no problem with eac3), but also Synology Video (which does not play movies with eac3 audio), I used Handbrake so far to convert mp4 to mkv and I even...
